Chapter 6
Doctor Tian's expression eased a little, and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, the old man can only treat this, the wound on his body, the old man also bandaged it for him, the swollen bag on his head, I also rubbed the medicine and wine for him, if it is a follow-up, the wound is not inflamed, he does not have a fever, and his life should not be in serious trouble, the old man grabbed some medicine for him, after all, he choked on some water and injured the inside, and he had to drink some decoction to nourish the inside, you also boil some ginger soup for him, so as not to make him weak and cold, and the rest, you can do it yourself, this amnesia, It can only be seen when he can remember, and the old man has no choice, if he has two silver taels, plus a few pairs of medicine money, the old man will charge you two taels. β
Wang Xiuhua did not hesitate to take out two taels of silver and stuff them into Dr. Tian's hand, even if these two taels of silver were the net profit from her selling buns for ten days, she had never spent such a huge amount of money as two taels of silver to see a doctor and take medicine by herself, Dr. Tian said that it was as much as she wanted, and she was afraid that Dr. Tian would be angry.
After Dr. Tian left, Wang Xiuhua and Aunt Feng looked at each other, mainly because they didn't know what to do with this man, they didn't remember who they were, where their home was, and the seriously injured people, they couldn't send him back to his own home, the people in Luwei Town and the people from the two villages next door, they all knew each other, it was obvious that he didn't belong to these places, I don't know where he came from.
Aunt Feng saw that the man was still staring at Xiuhua, and immediately said: "Xiuhua, you are an unmarried girl, you can't keep him here with you, it will tarnish your reputation, let's go tell the village chief, let the village chief find a place for him to stay, and after he recovers from his injuries, he is an adult man, with hands and feet, there is always a way to support himself, we don't have to worry so much, if he is a lazy person, then we won't care about him." β
"Aunt Feng is reasonable, so I will do what Aunt Feng says." Wang Xiuhua also doesn't want to keep the other party in her house, he is a strange man who doesn't know whether he is good or bad, his limbs are sound, and after he recovers from his injury, he can work to support himself, some families in Luwei Town often need people to do hard work and gravity work, such as helping to plow the fields, helping to beat the billet, anyway, as long as they are willing to work hard and endure hardships, people will not starve to death.
Aunt Feng also asked Uncle Wang to tell the village chief about this, called the village chief over, and asked the village chief to arrange it.
The man's eyes were as deep as a pool of blue water, only staring at Wang Xiuhua, she was stared at a little hairy, but as soon as he spoke, the deep feeling was gone, his tone was a little nervous, and his eyes showed innocence: "You...... Are you going to abandon me? β
"I didn't want to abandon you, you and I didn't know each other in the first place, we just wanted to find a good place for you to recuperate, and when you remember where your home is in the future, you can leave."
"You're just going to abandon me, you just said you won't abandon me."
An adult man suddenly complained to her aggrievedly like a three-year-old child who couldn't ask for sugar, and his mouth was pouted as if he could hang a gourd underneath, but Wang Xiuhua had to think about her reputation and reputation, she had no idea of getting married at this time, but it didn't mean that she liked to be pointed at, under the pedantry and various rules and dogmas of the ancients, she had to be cautious and didn't want to be the person who was discussed.
Besides, she doesn't have that much kindness, this person is a stranger to her, and she definitely has a clear conscience when she does this.
The man suddenly began to sob, bowing his head to prevent others from seeing him crying.
Aunt Feng whispered in her ear and told her not to be soft-hearted, so as not to cause endless trouble.
Early in the morning, some villagers came to buy steamed buns, saw that there were no steamed buns to sell, and the door of her house was not closed, so she came in and wanted to ask a few words why she didn't sell steamed buns today, and the village chief was quickly invited over, but after a while, she picked up a drowning strange man, and the man didn't remember who he was, and the news of where his home was quickly spread throughout Luwei Town.
After hearing about it, other people also rushed to her house, most of the people who lived in Luwei Town lived here for generations, and the people in the village were familiar with each other, and suddenly a stranger came, and everyone felt that the novelty must come and take a look, seeing is believing.
The courtyard of her house, inside and outside the house was full of people, squirming, and the people in the village talked in a low voice, because she had lived in Luwei Town since she was a child, and lived for 20 years, so no one suspected that she had an innocent relationship with the man, everyone was talking about where the man floated from, Suhe passed through more than a dozen large and small villages, and I heard that the beginning was a village called Luxiang Village, which was far away from their Luwei Town, and it would take two days and one night to go to the mule cart.
The village chief quickly made a decision to let the man live in the ancestral hall in Luwei Town, there was an empty room on the side of the ancestral hall, everyone had a surplus of food, and they could take turns to bring food to the man, and the village chief also asked the man to send some clean and changing clothes, and the matter was decided.
The man followed the village chief and they went to the ancestral hall, it should be said that he was driven over, Aunt Feng and they urged him to hurry over, saying that the ancestral hall is a better place, he will look back at her every step of the way, the eyes are red from crying, the look is very pitiful, the shoes he wears are her father's shoes, after her father left, everyone persuaded her to burn everything, but she was reluctant, basically her father and mother's things have not been touched much, and the room is still the same.
Wang Xiuhua quickly retracted her gaze, the ancestral hall in the village is stronger and brighter than the house she lives in, it was built with the money of a wealthy businessman born in Luwei Town a few years ago, it was built very well, it is almost the most magnificent place in Luwei Town, it can completely shelter from the wind and rain, it is said that the ancestral hall of a village is the faΓ§ade, it is a symbol of the wealth of the village, and it is also the most sacred place in the village, only the ancestral hall is precious and undamaged, and the Buddha and Bodhisattva and the ancestors will bless them with the people of the whole village without worrying about food and clothing, and prosperous financial luck, Bless the people in the village.
After everyone in the village left, her house was empty all of a sudden, and Brother Wang followed Dr. Tian to get the medicine, and the medicine was brought over, Wang Xiuhua just wanted to say something, Brother Wang opened his mouth and said that this medicine, their family is responsible for boiling the medicine, and then sent it to the person, saving her from contact with the man, I don't know if Aunt Feng has already told him.
Wang Xiuhua looked at Brother Wang gratefully, "Brother Wang, it's really hard for you." β
"It's not hard, neighbors should help each other, you look at you, every time I go back to my house Gangzi to ask you for buns, you never refuse, your buns, Gangzi is from snacks to big, he was raised by your buns, this little thing, it's not worth saying thank you, you see you have been tossing for a long time, you are busy with you."
Brother Wang's mouth is Brother Wang's eldest son, six years old this year, Wang Xiuhua smiled and sent Brother Wang away, she closed the door, suddenly remembered the flour she woke up, looked at it in the past, woke up, this flour has a bit of over-fermented taste, but it can't be wasted, she kneaded it, kneaded it into a ball, drained the excess air inside, and began to make unstuffed steamed buns, today's food is these steamed buns.
She went back to the house to rest after eating a few steamed buns with the smell of wine, she was also tired today, she didn't think about the amnesiac man, the people in the village would definitely not let him starve to death, it was August, the hottest day, he couldn't freeze, so she quickly fell asleep.
This sleep is three hours, and she usually starts to make up for sleep after selling steamed buns.
When she woke up, it was evening again, it was about to get dark, the orange-yellow afterglow was only a little bit left, there were a few clouds floating in the air, the cool breeze blew, taking away the residual heat of the day, and the west mountain at dusk, and the town of Luwei was also quiet.
Wang Xiuhua was thinking about what to eat today, while it was not completely dark, she was going to pick some vegetables in her vegetable field, as soon as she opened the front door of her house, there was a person sitting at the door of her house, which startled her, and took a step back with her stepped out, and after she saw the person sitting at the door of her house clearly, she couldn't help frowning.
"Why are you here, aren't you supposed to be in the ancestral hall?"
"You forsake me."
He squatted on the wooden threshold, wrapped his hands around himself, turned his head and complained to her aggrievedly, he seemed to be a little choked, like an abandoned child, but he was not a child, in fact, it was not right, he didn't remember what his name was, he didn't have the memory of more than thirty years in his head, his cognition was completely blank, it could also be said that he was a child who only had the memory of today's day.
"Go over to the ancestral hall."
"Why did you abandon me?"
Wang Xiuhua felt that she was a Xiucai soldier at this time, and it didn't make sense, she was a little speechless, and she didn't know how long he had been sitting here, so she had to repeat it again that they didn't know each other, she just fished him out of the water, and he shouldn't pester her.
The man didn't answer.
Wang Xiuhua didn't care about him, closed the door and went to the field, her vegetable field was not far away, walk a dozen steps to arrive, she looked at the light and shadow on the ground, the person's shadow overlapped with her shadow, she knew that the other party was following her, this person was tall, he walked behind her, his shadow almost covered her shadow.
It was getting late, most of the people in the village had gone back to their homes, it was dark and they couldn't see, they couldn't work, the oil lamps and candles cost money, the common people were reluctant to pay for it, everyone was working at sunrise and sunset, and there was only the footsteps of the two of them on this path, which was very quiet.
He followed step by step, she could clearly feel that the other party was very close, only one step or two steps away, Wang Xiuhua was a little impatient, she didn't understand what this person wanted to do, she really wanted to entangle her, and it wasn't that she couldn't understand people's words, she pulled out the dishes to eat today and the cabbage to be used to make buns tomorrow, and when she wanted to go home, she saw that he was still following her, she couldn't help but turn around and face him, and said dissatisfied: "Who is that, don't follow me anymore, the village chief has let you live in the ancestral hall, my family is not spacious and bright in the ancestral hall, what are you doing with me?" β
Even in this kind of sky, she still felt like she was being stared at, and his eyes were as bright as snow.
